Не работает синхронизация библиотек на Мас и на мобильном устройстве. Оплата всех профессиональных планов не помогла.

It has everything I need. Very easy to use. To top it off, it’s a one time purchase. What’s not to like ? 😊

This latest update has streamlined the functionality. I etnusiastically recommend without reservation.

Been using Bookends for Mac and iOS for a couple years now and it is rock solid. It allows me to have a huge library available everywhere and always in sync. Developers have been highly responsive and helpful.

I stumbled upon this in my pursuit of an app that allows nuanced deep linking to pdf pages across ios and desktop. I was blown away to find that bookends handles this very well. I am now embarking on the onerous task of swapping my general pdf library to bookends.

This is a great app. It’s actively maintained and updated, and the iPad app has all the bells and whistles like support for multi-window (which is a must if you want to read a pdf and add notes or keywords to the meta-data), slide-over, etc. It’s support for Apple Pencil hand-written notes is top-notch, much better than anything else I’ve tried (ReadCube Papers). All in all, a wonderful app.

After using Zotero for years, it took me a little while to get used to Bookends. However, it’s been well worth the effort. It does almost everything that Zotero does, plus a whole lot more. Additionally, it’s easier to organize, and is visually more appealing. The one thing I miss is how Zotero has a browser extension that makes it super simple to create a reference for a website with all the information pre-populated. If Bookends adds this feature, it will be the best reference manager I’ve ever used by a long shot. Altogether, Bookends extra features are endlessly satisfying and useful. And for those who are up for a little scripting, Bookends invites you to be creative! I love this app and am really enthusiastic about using it for years to come.

Thank you for bringing back the thumbnails! (it was very difficult to navigate without them)

Title says it all. To be clear, developers admit that multiple users have reported problems with iCloud sync and in-app purchases, but they dismiss the problem as a bug in iOS. Funny how no other app that I use has the same problem. In any case, there’s no resolution and the app isn’t usable. Edited to add: developer response is completely fair and accurate. My initial review was overly fueled by stress from my impending dissertation defense. Unfortunately, the app still isn’t usable for me.
